            Bug ID: 307117
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kompare-devel at kde.org
           Summary: No output when comparing two different files
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: adriyetichaves at gmail.com
          Hardware: Chakra
            Status: NEW
         Component: general
           Product: kompare

I was doing a bit of bug triagging, when suddenly I stumbled upon the fact that
(my installation of) Kompare is not able to display the differences between two
files. It does work with patches, but as soon as I provide the path to two
different files, it just provides an empty “diff view”.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a plain text file with the following content, and save it as
“test1.txt”:
Line1
Line2
Line3

2. Create another plain text file with the following content, and save it as
“test2.txt”:
Line1
LineB
LineIII

3. Open Kompare, and select “Files” in the left-side panel (default).
4. Provide the paths to those two files, one as Source and the other one as
Target, and click “Compare” at the bottom of the dialog.
Actual Results:  
Kompare displays an empty diff view.

Expected Results:  
The differences between the files, which are the lines 2 and 3, should be
displayed in a diff view.

Version is 4.2.1, not listed in the reporting form combobox.
